Its not like he is mashing out there, is it. And with other guys slumping or stinking we need better from our CF.

If Cora did bench Rafaela, Fred would just find another player to negatively obsess about.

You bet! 

Whats Yoshida up to nowadays?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox offense tonight is either HR's or K's.

At least he didn't K.

Giolito has to keep being aggressive.

His ERA+is 111. Much better than I expected this year.

[d-money]

This offense still not doing much. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Getting the O's feed tonight. Thankfully, Jim Palmer is not in the booth. I'm guessing he's recovering from another face lift.

[d-money]

Need to get out of this inning. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Leave it to Beavers.

[d-money]

Score some more runs.

How bad were you, when you can have an .812 streak over 8 games, then hit a homer to bring your OPS up to .560?

Bradish has better stuff than Giolito, but Gioliito had better control through 4 IP. Then the Orioles started hitting his stuff hard in the 5th because he wasn't hitting the corners any more. 

Hamilton will likely keep 2b when the opposing starter is a righty.   

 

[d-money]

Pathetic. Have struck out 10 times tonight. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trivia:

What's the most K's a pitcher can accumulate after 9 full innings?

[d-money]

Here we go.

Just another day at the office.

[Maxbialystock]

Huge advantage to have 2 competent catchers they can rotate like this.  Both play rested.

I really don't mind the Ks as long as they aren't striking out on balls out of the zone often. They do a LOT of that.

[d-money]

Giolito has to settle down here.

Never, ever give the other guy credit.  After all, this is slow-pitch, right?  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice frame job by Narvaez.

[FredLynn]

Great outing by Gio....I'd send him back out there because we are playing so many days in a row.

[d-money]

Nice job by gio. Wish we could get another insurance run. 

[Maxbialystock]

Giolito catches a break for the K.  

His changeup is flat when it's up in the zone, but not when it's low.  

Quality start for Giolito,.  It will really help if the Sox could get a run or 2 in the 7th so Giolito could maybe gone one more inning.  Akin is a lefty of course.
